Lucy Connolly to be freed

Now I am going to try out a motorbiking style logical fallacy.

Unless somebody can point to a racial slur that is based on the skin colour of another ethnic group changing depending on their emotions, then that is proof that Gammon isn't racist.

Poor attempt at a swerve.
 
What makes you want people to agree with you so much ?

But yet pretend you’re on the fence ?

I don't want people to agree with me. I actually enjoy being wrong and finding out stuff.

But I find the argument that just because it involves a (temporary change) in skin colour it must be racist to be very simplistic. I am not convinced.

There is no real equivalent where people are mocked for their skin changing colour and it is called racist.

If a Pakistani man called another man the short version of their country, is that racist or just cool ?
